Not that I am biased or anything:

This is the bike that I am looking to get next, as I see my poor Jake slowly getting older. Geez, he’s only two years old, but the wear and tear or riding every day can take a toll on even the best made bikes. I’d really like to get the Felt cyclocross I posted here, but this one is more withing my reach, as the pro shop that is near me has one and is looking to sell. And I am looking to buy. ou can check out the specs and other Specialized bikes and gear here. Pretty cool site. Pretty cool gear.

However, living in the big city, I had to meditate as to what I’d do with two very nice cross bikes. I have come up with this solution: Jake is for commuting, the new bike would be for training. I couldn’t possibly mess up the paint job on a new bike like I have on Jake lacing a giant metal chain through it all the time. I’d have to ride the new one just out somewhere where I can pedal for a few hours, then turn around and get back home, without having to do any kind of stopping in a densely populate area.

And speaking of training, I think I mentioned before that I was thinking of hiring a coach, but that dream is coming closer to fruition. There is a shop in the city called Jack Rabbit that has set up a training program for people who would like to train and have the help they need. Upon first glance at this site, it doesn’t look like they have the programs for cycling, but I can almost guarantee that if they do not have a program set up, they can certainly point one in the right direction to a great trainer. I am going down that road within the next two or three weeks….

I am ready to hit the next level.
